The Universe - Tumblr Posts
sometimes I talk to the universe, or to plants, or to myself. And it's mega embarrassing because what if somebody sees me look at a plant growing out of some concrete and go
"Wow! look at you! good job! that was probably super difficult but you did it, i'm proud of you little plant." or i'll be looking for something and I won't be able to find it, but then when I complete a chore it's suddenly just on the table or right behind me in plain sight where I've definitely checked before and i'll go "Oh, is this for doing my chore? are you (the universe) rewarding me for being responsible? Thank you, I get the lesson, I'll try to do chores more often." bcs like cmon that's my mom (the universe / mother nature / whatever you wanna call everything around us) And I want to do it more often, it's like praying I think, but it's SO embarrassing. depending on who i'm around I probably wouldn't be in any danger or anything but also I don't think very many people would understand. but also, how could I tell the universe I'm ashamed of her? just because not many would understand? that's it? idk man i'm rambling
Do I know the names of each moon phase? No. But do I know where the moon is in her cycle? Do I glance up at her every night just to check in? Do I keep in mind if the shadow we cast on her is growing or decreasing right now? Can I predict when the full or new moon will be based on where she is in her current unnamed phase? YES! And that's the thing, humans have named natural phenomenon a million different things a million different times. None of which matters to the phenomenon itself. To have a relationship with nature, the universe, the earth. You don't need to spend all this extra time memorizing scientific names. Instead, spend that time and effort observing. Noticing. Tracking. Even if you make up your own words on accident, the moon can't tell the difference. Even if you falter, and forget to check in for a week, a month, a year. The moon never leaves. She'll always be up in the sky, either shrouded in darkness invisibly watching over us or brightly lit up like our other friend the sun. Whenever you want to reconnect and glance up she'll be there. Stressing about tracking her every move will only strain your relationship. Stressing about memorizing just one set of the many names people have put onto her cycle will only strain your relationship. Stressing about full moon celebrations that may or may not fit into your schedule or come naturally to you is only going to strain your relationship. Do what feels natural, do what makes sense for you and makes you happy. There is no right way to be pagan. There is only what you feel in your heart to be true. This goes for literally everything btw
I would like to formally apologize to religious folk from my teenage years, turns out religion could help my mental health it just wasn't the one yall had in mind
It feels so good outside tonight. I hope some of my fellow Tumblr users are looking at the moon like I am right now. It's such an amazing and special thought. That thousands of miles can seperate us all. But our line of sight meets upon this one beautiful thing in our universe. What a comforting thought I believe..

INFORMATION I WAS NOT PREPARED TO LEARN. MAYBE WE *ARE* ALONE. BECAUSE WE ARE SO *EARLY*. IF THERE IS EVER GALACTIC CIVILIZATION THEY WILL NOT REMEMBER US AT ALL. BECAUSE WE ARE NOTHING. CELLS, JUST BEGINNING TO FORM LIFE. SORRY FOR SCREAMING. BUT ARE YOU LISTENING. ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT IT.
Emptiness (The Earth and You)
Empty
is just a word
used to discribe
wine glasses,
gas tanks,
threats and compliments,
until youโre standing
in an empty room,
filled with
sunken-in couches,
photographs and leveled bookshelves
โand you,
for you are something.
Yet even
with places to dream,
tacked memories and worded worlds,
itโs still as empty
as silence:
you fill the room
like noise fills a soundless void,
and you realize
that the earth
feels the same as you
to this room,
hung up
in the vast distances of
space.

Hello! I hope you are having a good day! if you like space what is your favorite thing in space? Example: Nebula, Galaxy, Plantes, black hole, etc.
mine is probably black holes or Nebulas
Stay safe!
Oh hi! This is my first ever ask on here!
And good gods above this is a tough question, bc everything up in space is just *so* interesting. I gotta say black holes and the expansion of the universe are the most interesting things scientifically, but nebulas and galaxies are very pleasing visually. Planets and stars are also really interesting especially with just how varied and different they can be- even in our own solar system we have so many different varieties of planets! None of our planets are anything alike and it's so amazing.
Another really interesting thing to think about is the way things travel through space, like light, heat, etc. It's especially exciting (for me at least) to think about how many things must be accounted for when making spacecraft, which is a far-away dream but a dream nonetheless for me.
Have a good day & stay safe as well!
Could I sign this too?

He tells me I won for the performance, Not the poem. My mother's teachings tell me to take what I can get. And so when I get home that night I do not cry myself to sleep. And it becomes a habit. I learn to stop asking questions. I love without asking why. I am left and do not ask why. In this way the silence is never hollow. Never empty. Always crowded with the unsaid. In this way I forget self loathing because you cannot hate someone you don't know. In this way I no longer feel the need to escape. Because I am never anywhere. Always nowhere.

Its easier than one might think, To stop being sorry. You just have to stop being. Reduce yourself to a concept. Guilt only exists in the abstract sometimes. I cease begging for forgiveness because I don't know what I did wrong anymore. But I repent anyways. There is a difference. Don't ask me why. No questions, remember?

I bash my head against the wall. And my skull shatters into a million stars. But I still don't get to become a constellation. The sky is disgusted with me. I am adjusting poorly to existence. But do not fret, love. Youre doing just fine.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
Douglas Adams
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.
Albert Einstein
Since her death in 1979, the woman who discovered what the universe is made of has not so much as received a memorial plaque. Her newspaper obituaries do not mention her greatest discovery. [โฆ] Every high school student knows that Isaac Newton discovered gravity, that Charles Darwin discovered evolution, and that Albert Einstein discovered the relativity of time. But when it comes to the composition of our universe, the textbooks simply say that the most abundant atom in the universe is hydrogen. And no one ever wonders how we know.
Jeremy Knowles, discussing the complete lack of recognition Cecilia Payne gets, even today, for her revolutionary discovery. (via alliterate)
